Another Johnson County Republican switches sides to run in 2006
SHAWNEE, Kan. - A moderate Republican who lost her seat in the Kansas House to a conservative GOP opponent will try to win it back as a Democrat.

Cindy Neighbor, now a member of the Shawnee Mission Board of Education, is the second prominent Republican from Johnson County to switch parties in order to run next year.

In a move that showed just how deep a divide exists between the party's conservative and moderate wings, District Attorney Paul Morrison said in October that he would run as a Democrat against conservative Attorney General Phill Kline in 2006.

"We haven't left the Republican Party," Neighbor said Friday. "They left us."

1. Good for her
I am a life long Johnson County resident and I can assure you the Republicans who have been in the majority here all my life are NOT the same Republicans in Topeka and DC today.

We have a Dem rep in Congress. Yet another extreme right Christian has emerged to oppose him in November and has already began airing commercials locally. I predict he will be unsuccessful. These are moderate middle class Republicans here who value good schools, strong government and sensible policies.
